2010 Map of Citadel Plateau

About this map

Citadel Plateau and the Danforth Hills define this high-altitude landscape in Moffat County, where a network of seasonal drainages and named gulches carves through the terrain. The map documents a sparsely populated ranching region, anchored by the Shelton Ranch in the north and Keystone Ranch to the south. These properties are connected by high-desert infrastructure like County Rd 23 and County Rd 59, which navigate the complex topography of Freeman Gulch and Pinto Gulch. Prominent landforms such as Steamboat Rock and Wolf Mountain serve as significant local landmarks for orientation. The presence of Indian Springs Draw and Deep Channel Creek highlights the drainage patterns essential to the area's agricultural and pastoral operations in the early 21st century.
